We are a small start up that manufactures stand alone shipping container dwellings that or sold and shipped to a US market. We seek a firm or agency (not an individual) to create a design for a stand alone shipping container apartment prototype for the US market. Manufacturing will likely occur in Ukraine. Unit will be shipped to the US, where final installation will occur. Preference will be given to a firm familiar with the adaptive reuse of shipping containers for dwellings, or with experience designing for manufacturing environments (instead of on site construction). Familiarity of the International Building Code a huge plus. Ability to have technical conversations in English a must - plus if firm also has ability to communicate in Ukrainian, Georgian, or Russian.
